Mörön, Administrative center in northern Mongolia

Mörön stands at the intersection of the Delgermörön river and the northern Mongolian steppes, serving as the principal city of Khövsgöl Province.

The settlement emerged from Möröngiin Khuree monastery in 1809, which housed 1300 lamas before its destruction during the political changes of 1937.

The Aimag Museum maintains 3,693 exhibits documenting regional history through traditional clothing and artifacts from local minority communities.

Mörön Airport processes 150 passengers per hour with regular flights to Ulaanbaatar, while the city connects to the capital via a paved road completed in 2014.

Winter temperatures in Mörön can drop to -47.2°C, reflecting the extreme continental climate of this northern Mongolian settlement.
